BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Without limiting the scope of the invention, its background is described in connection with wound case, and more particularly, to the treatment of decubitus ulcers.

One system for treating decubitus ulcers is taught in United States Patent Application Publication No. 2012/0116251, filed by Ben-Shalom, et al. entitled “System and Method For Preventing Decubitus Ulcers,” that includes a pressure detection mat comprising a plurality of pressure-detection sensors. The mat is configured to be placed between a subject and a platform and to couple with a pressure-wound prevention system. The pressure wound prevention system is configured to receive data from the sensors within pressure detection mats, process, interpret and analyze the data, and display the analyzed data to a user. This pressure wound prevention system aims to assist in the prevention of bedsores in immobilized patients, and may be particularly useful in home care environments, acute care facilities, long term care facilities, hospices, hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities and the like.

Another method for treating decubitus ulcers is taught in United States Patent Application Publication No. 2008/0188546, filed by Takeda, et al. entitled “Preventive Or Therapeutic Agents For Decubitus,” that provides a preventive or preventing therapeutic agent for decubitus comprising an N-acylated derivative of hydroxyproline or a salt thereof; the above preventive or therapeutic agent wherein the N-acylated derivative of hydroxyproline or a salt thereof is contained in an amount of 0.1 to 15% by weight to the total weight; and the preventive or therapeutic agent for decubitus wherein the N-acylated group of the N-acylated derivative of hydroxyproline is an N-acylated group having 1 to 24 carbon atoms.

Yet another method for treating decubitus ulcers is taught in United States Patent Application Publication No. 2006/0166885, filed by Van Bekkum and Willem entitled “Treatment and Prevention of Decubitus,” that includes a method for treating a subject suffering from, or at risk of suffering from, decubitus, the method comprising a step of administering erythropoietin (EPO), or a functional part, derivative or analogue thereof to the subject. In certain embodiments, the EPO has been recombinantly produced in host cells that further express the E1A protein of an adenovirus.

The terminology herein is used to describe specific embodiments of the invention, but their usage does not delimit the invention, except as outlined in the claims.

As used herein, the term “aloe vera” followed by MPS (for mucopolysaccharide) and a number (e.g., 2,000; 5,000 or 10,000) refers to a natural aloe vera gel product that has an average molecular weight distribution for long-chain poly saccharides of 2,000 saccharides molecules per chain, 5,000 saccharides per chain, and 10,000 saccharides per chain, respectively. The Aloe vera mucopolysaccharide (MPS) is a long chain sugar molecule composed of individual mannose and glucose sugar molecules connected together. There is wide range in the size of the mucopolysaccharide molecule. Therefore, Aloe 2000 refers to a composition in which the mucopolysaccharide molecules average 2,000 saccharides per chain, which can be determined using, e.g., size exclusion chromatography and gel electrophoresis.

As used herein, the term “preservative” refers to a natural or synthetic substance that is added to the present invention to prevent the growth, or decomposition of, the composition by microbes or chemical changes to the composition. Non-limiting examples of preservatives that may be optionally used with the present invention include benzoic acid and its salts, sorbic acid and its salts, calcium propionate, sodium nitrite, sodium nitrate, and sulfites (sulfur dioxide, sodium bisulfate, potassium hydrogen sulfite).
